Thriving in times of change It is unreasonable to ask a professional to change much more than 10 percent a year, but it is unprofessional to change by much less than 10 percent a year. ~Steven Leinwand

GLCE NGSS P.EN Demonstrate that light travels in a straight path and that shadows are made by placing an object in a path of light. P.EN Observe what happens to light when it travels from air to water. 1-PS4-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light. MS-PS4.2. Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Grade Level Content Expectations and NGSS

Architecture of the NGSS What do you see? What do you think is going on? What does it make you wonder?

Architecture of the NGSS: Performance Expectations Performance Expectations: These describe what a student should be able to do at the end of a unit They are not meant to be lesson sequences or required activities

Architecture of the NGSS: 3 Dimensions Scientific and Engineering Practices Crosscutting Concepts Disciplinary Core Ideas

Architecture of the NGSS: Connections Connections to: Other content/grade- bands within the NGSS Common Core State Standards for ELA/Literacy and Mathematics

A TREASURE HUNT Digging into the NGSS

What’s happening with MDE?

May 2013: Anticipated State Board of Education adoption : Begin planned implementation of NGSS practices, focusing on areas of current curricula that address NGSS content and cross-cutting concepts & : Transitions to new curricula : Full K-12 implementation and assessment NOTE: all of this info is subject to change… _410943_7.pdf

So I guess we have to focus on the practice standards next year…..what does that look like?

Science and Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions (science ) and defining problems (engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

Conventional Science Instruction Shifts in Practice for NGSS MEAP Question Pill bugs can often be found underneath rocks and rotting logs. When exposed to light, they immediately try to find a dark place to hide. This reaction by the pill bugs is a result of A migration. B feeding behavior. C energy requirements. D changing environmental conditions. NGSS Performance Expectation Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways. Shifts in Practice: Content

Conventional Science Instruction Shifts in Practice for NGSS Overwhelming focus of instruction and assessment is content mastery Learning objectives attend to a broad and comprehensive content coverage Fewer concepts are emphasized and explored in depth Interrelationships of ideas and crosscutting concepts are emphasized Content is put to use to generate and investigate questions or solve problems Assessment centers on the use of knowledge and proficiency of the science practices Shifts in Practice: Content

SHIFTS IN PRACTICE Experimentation

Shifts in Practice: Experimentation

Conventional Science Instruction How does the period of the pendulum depend on the amplitude of the swing? Be sure to keep the mass and length constant Click on the button on the lower right which will activate the photogate timer Set the amplitude to 50 o and start the pendulum. Start the photogate timer – this will automatically stop itself when it has recorded the time for one complete swing (period) Enter the amplitude and period in excel – be sure to label the top of each column and the correct units Continue to take readings for 40 o, 30 o and so on down to 10 o Highlight the columns on your spreadsheet and insert a scatter plot of your results. Choose a chart layout that will allow you to give the graph a title and label the axes with complete units Click on the chart itself and look for the layout tab Open the trendline option and then open “more trendline options” Select linear trendline, and display equation and r 2 on graph Try other trendline options, (exponential, etc) until you find the one with an r 2 value closest to 1 Save the table, graph and trendline information

Shifts in Practice for NGSS What questions do you have about the motion of a pendulum? How might you use this simulation to answer your questions? What kind of models might you develop to represent the motion of the pendulum? Shifts in Practice: Experimentation

Conventional Science Instruction Students read the text to learn vocabulary and background information about clouds. ? Students then observe the cloud in a jar that confirms what they already “know.”

Shifts in Practice: Experimentation Shifts in Practice for NGSS Students search for answers to their questions as they read the text. ? Students ask questions about cloud formation and do some investigating on their own.

Conventional Science Instruction Shifts in Practice for NGSS A science course begins with a unit on the scientific method Hands-on science instruction is used to demonstrate facts of science and thereby reinforce concept mastery Clear directions are provided for experiments Scientific investigations are designed to generate evidence and answer and inspire questions Students have the opportunity to invent and/or evaluate approaches to investigations Revisions to investigative approaches and multiple attempts are routine Shifts in Practice: Experimentation

Conventional Science Instruction Shifts in Practice for NGSS Teacher provides formulas: Students use formulas to get answers: Students observe the motion of a car going down a hill Shifts in Practice: Scientific Models v = v o + at x = x o + v o t + ½ at 2 A roller coaster car starts at the top of a hill with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. If the acceleration down the hill is 4.5 m/s 2, and the hill is 20 m long, how long will it take to get to the bottom of the hill? How fast will it be going?

Shifts in Practice: Scientific Models Students create graphical and mathematical models of the motion Students apply these models to new situations A roller coaster car starts at the top of a hill with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. If the acceleration down the hill is 4.5 m/s 2, and the hill is 20 m long, how long will it take to get to the bottom of the hill? How fast will it be going? v = v o + at x = x o + v o t + ½ at 2

Conventional Science Instruction Shifts in Practice for NGSS Physical models are the main type explored by students and they are used to help conceive of scientific ideas Mathematical formulas are used to find answers Models are designed and used to generate evidence, test ideas, and make predictions Students have the opportunity to build mathematical models Shifts in Practice: Scientific Models

Reflecting on a Science Lesson Is there an opportunity for students to investigate their own questions? Is there an opportunity to use a model to generate evidence, test ideas, or make predictions? Is there an opportunity for students to talk with each other as they analyze and interpret evidence?
